If like our school, your school have put in place alternative arrangements for a wet day break and lunch you will know that pupils can get bored when stuck in a classroom. This link to a google slides doc in our resource area could be your saving grace! The slides have multiple activities that could be displayed on the white board or shared to google classrooms/ microsoft teams (for kids to use on phone). This is an American version so you may want to make some of the activities more suitable for kids here in NI but there are plenty of art, reading, technology, mindfulness and physical education activities that you could use this straight away, without having to do any more work!

So for me today felt like the first day of the 'new normal'.....my first day teaching all 8 periods straight. It was great to be back in my classroom doing the job I trained for and which I love! The pupils are glad to be back and yes, things are different and lessons do not look the same as before 'lock down' but as usual the pupils just accept the changes and get on with the learning. I may not be able to drift round the room and lean over their shoulder to help but they accept that and together we will learn to manage things differently, (perhaps more strategic planning of seating is something I need to revisit!). However as always the adaptability and resilience of pupils amazes me. They just get on with it, already they have used brand new software to submit their homework digitally and all without a fuss or complaint!
On the way home I heard a song on the radio and I wanted to share it with you. Have a listen carefully to the lyrics and enjoy! https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=33SuJE-ANiQ&list=RDAMVM33SuJE-ANiQ |
